October 30th's Learning Log

What we did:

         Today in class we moved the desks around so now we have a different seating arrangement. Then we talked about taking and making notes. We talked about the difference between taking and making notes. We also discussed about text and what types there are.
We had to do/read a worksheet about notes and do some exercising on them, such as Web and mapping, and _____________. The people who still haven't finished their book pass had to work on it first.

Why we did it:

         We did it because making notes can help us learn more things and study for tests, it can help when we are in other classes, and at later years too, or if you really want to be a reporter/journalist. Making notes is a really important skill to learn.

How this is useful:

         This is useful because later on in our lifes, we may need to take notes about somethings, for example, if we were in university/college we would need to take notes about the lecture.

Homework:

1. Finish reading and doing the worksheet/exercises.
2. Hand in Interims if you haven't already.

Tips:

 When taking notes, read the whole paragraph first, then write down the notes.

 You should spend most of your time reading/listening rather than taking the actual notes.
